History

Birth country: China
Hometown: Long Island, New York
Childhood: She spent the first few years in Shanghai, where her father was posted before they were transferred to Germany. There, she was noticed to hold strong capabilities in languages when she enthusiastically responds to her caretakers in their native languages, and was prompted by her parents to pursue that talent. She was quite accommodating with her family's constant moving, accepting it as part of their lifestyle. Despite of the move, it stayed that she worked on the languages around Asia and the Middle East, by then already speaking both Mandarin and Japanese.
Teen years: She was sent to a boarding school at the age of 15, by then still drilled with language training in Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, Hebrew and Arabic. There were several familial troubles amongst them, particularly with Tony's rebellious phase and their parents subsequent divorce. This prompted her to become more independent, and slowly distancing herself from the family as a means to avoid the strains of the disputes.
Adult years: After obtaining her degree in linguistics, she took on the same career path as her mother, working closely with foreign embassies, before the desk job grew very boring for her. She took up an offer for a promotion to work as an operations officer at the CIA's National Clandestine Service. A posting in Japan introduced her to Anna (Orion's first-generation grifter). Anna tempted her with choosing a different sort of 'career path', in hopes that a change of mind would guarantee her to walk free (and away from the crazy woman threatening her with a knife). As she was getting increasingly bored with the lifestyle, she accepted the offer with very little hesitation.
Past places of residence: China, Germany, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia,
History of family: Parents are diplomatically linked; her father a defence advisor, her mother, a diplomat

Relationships

Parents: Raimundo Discenza, Gina Ryder
Siblings: Tony Discenza
Any enemies (and why): Her ex-husband Kyle, who was only after her money. After she found out and his many refusals for a divorce, she 'persuaded' him (by nearly cleaving his hand open) to change his mind.
Children: None
Friends: Many of those she's met since her childhood (which she actually bothers to keep in touch)
Best friend(s): The Orion team
Important friends/relatives (explain): Anna (mentor), Tony (her brother), Yue (her friend since kindergarten), Dante (confidant)
Love interest (if there is one): Dante

Combat

Peaceful or violent: Violent
Weapon (if applicable): Knives (of any kind), a modified kerambit and a compact Kel-Tec P11 pistol
Style of fighting: In unarmed combat, she displays very strong elements of eastern martial arts, especially in Dim Mak (literally: Death Touch), Silat and Muay Thai. She attacks mostly in leg-based combat, reserving her hands for pressure-point based attacks. She is characterized in using acrobatic moves in launching herself at opponents in a 'flying thigh-choke' (which is really a flying triangle choke or flying arm bar) before snapping their necks or choking them. In armed combat, she is capable of using firearms, but she prefers bladed weapons or the kerambit she keeps on hand.

Others

Occupation: (former) interpretor and CIA operations officer, (current) freelance spy
Current home: An apartment in New York
Favorite types of food: Anything with vegetables
Favorite types of drink: Chinese tea (or any kind of tea for that matter)
Hobbies/past times: Gambling, knife throwing, reading, doing crosswords, catching up with her old friends
Guilty pleasures: Watching (read: following/singing along) really old foreign films and musicals, reading trashy romance novels, shoe shopping
Pet peeves: When people correct her (incredibly screwed up) slang, when she has to come and clean her brother's messes, being woken up, being called "ma'am", when people bully her cat
Pets: A Russian Blue (whom she intelligently named 'Blue')
Talents: Incredibly adept at languages, knife throwing, acrobatic
Favorite colours: Pastel colors
Favorite type of music: Opera, oldies, anything instrumental (preferably guitars or cellos)

Miscellaneous Trivia
- *her height is often subject of debate because no one actually knows how tall she is. Though when she's working a job, the list grows from height to every single physical description about her
- Despite being lethal, she rarely participates in fights unless deemed necessary
- Known to carry at least one knife on her person - where she actually keeps them remains a mystery to most.
- Could literally be the embodiment of a femme fatale (sultry, deadly, intelligent)
- Whenever she spars with any of her male Orion teammates, she enjoys taking them down with the 'surprise thigh-choke' (named by her brother). To date, none has been able to get out from that or has yet to get over that.
- Behind Dante, she is considered the second most dangerous out of the team
- Her acrobatic skills were thanks to Yue, a Chinese gymnast friend from her childhood (whom she still visits)
- Her insomniac tendencies are considered 'normal' amongst the team, mainly cause they're too scared to move her to an actual bed. The last person who's managed to do that was stabbed with a fork.
- Her no-nonsense and strict attitude often serves as a means to scare away any potential date, or any idiot who tries to hit on her.
- While she seriously enjoys gambling, she's pretty bad at it (often cursing or threatening at her opponents)
- Is known as 'hell in a business suit' amongst the members of the team, and is known to terrorize them (in whichever way she sees fit) to get things done
- Her (near appalling) grasp of slang has been so accustomed by the team that they correct her (and Tony) with very little hesitation
- Is quite horrible when it comes to naming things, her brother reminds her of her cat's name very often. To the point it's often joked upon that being known as the 'Siren' (based on her ability to lure people, before killing them) was definitely not something self-given
